[@chrisfit]

Does anyone else feel like Fender is just killing it these days?

[@shawnmcvey7789]

They're great, but I'm still stuck wondering why they haven't made a Blackface Deluxe with an FX loop. It would be one of the greatest small gig amps ever.

[@emcg.9655]

@@shawnmcvey7789 the supersonic 22 IS the best small gig amp ever. Blackface, tweed, facemelter, loop, reverb. Thank me later.

[@shawnmcvey7789]

@@emcg.9655 I worked at Guitar Center for years, I sold a lot of Supersonics. Great amp, but the clean channel isn't quite the same as a deluxe in an A/B through the same cab. Personally I play Ampegs and Laneys, but I pretty much exclusively play in 2 guitar bands where the other person plays through a Fender.

[@abrahamkinard803]

The closest thing i can think of off the top of my head is the ml212. Not a blackface but I don't think that should be a dealbreaker

[@InspiretoVictory]

Have you seen the new color Fender has? Texas Tea. It is amazing. Check it out on the American Tele Ultra. The G.A.S. is overwhelming.

[@barters8124]

Whenever Josh is involved….I take note. Dude is a beast and seems very genuine.

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

Fender is at the top of the game this year.

[@asnipa]

Way to go Fender. More demos with players of this caliber please :)

[@fugalibrana]

1:52 xD

[@craiger2399]

Josh Smith is such an amazing player. Fender was smart to grab this guy for demos.

[@tomaburque]

Fender seems to be making a lot of right moves lately.

Came for the pedal demo, stayed to watch Josh Smith killin it!!

[@albaid511]

They fixed the super bright light issue 🙌🏻 . Love these pedals.

[@bullifan1300]

this man plays fantastic...every guitar sounds good in his fingers..!!!

Two monsters. The pedal and the player!

[@metallicblood]

This player could make everything sound fantastic :D

[@luckyno888]

Josh Smith is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad man!

[@johngregsonguitar]

Great sounding demo (and wonderful playing from Josh of course!) - that pre+post gain boost feature is most welcome, what a clever design!

[@ptrisonic]

Josh is the man. At the peak of his art - but he'll be even better tomorrow... Hi, Josh, long time no type. Got any finish left on your Chapin? Love that Strat's Texas Tea color - pedals good an' all. Best, Pete.

[@mattmanley7118]

Nice to finally hear the difference between the LA and the original MTG pedal. Definitely more grunt n gain here.

[@mikes062]

The name just makes me think of the old Ibanez LA Metal pedal from the 80s!

[@GeordieGuitarGuy]

*Josh Smith plays 30 seconds of blues country virtuoso.* @3:49 Fender rep - "Cool."

[@OzziePete1]

00:17 Stan looking across at Josh thinking, "Damn I wish I could play LIKE THAT!"

[@thxphotog]

Nothing Josh Smith can play that Stan can't. Stan is a monster player.

[@TMillsMusic]

Mike Skillz Too right, Stan is one hell of a player 👌🎸

[@johnroberts838]

Absolutely Brilliant Pedal, I like it that much that I have just Ordered one through my Favourite Music Store, Cranbourne Music in Melbourne. Thank you for the Demo👍👍👍. Melbourne, Australia.

[@carlmartinez5234]

That guitar play is a monster! Dam good!

[@StupidEarthlings]

Anyone else notice how shiny those frets are? Zowee. Must be polished like a muvvah!

[@nagamata]

I started this video without actually watching, just listening while doing stuff in my kitchen, and thought damn this guy is destroyin! When I saw who was playing, it all made sense.

[@sychustudio2525]

Love Josh playing, would like to see him playing santa ana too

[@MrBeeWee]

Wow that intro sounded great!

[@gabet3754]

Wow! This is definitely going on my pedal board. Awesome fender!

[@bille77]

Well, has it and if yes, how is it?

[@guyguyguyjean]

Can the Level/Boost function like an attenuator ,keeping the sound over driven but at bedroom levels??

[@avjake]

I don't see a "Play Like Josh" control on there, so what's the point? (YMMV)

[@greysuit17]

You totally missed it, there’s a dip switch called “Practice”.

[@nightraven5760]

@@greysuit17 just a though, only a little consideration, perhaps just maybe thinking that it was a joke?

Ravne over reacting to comments and trying to down play your ignorance is hilarious on the other hand.

[@a.j.garrett9639]

That sounds great!

[@MrSmiley1964]

A lot of the finer points of the pedal are lost on my Kraptastic Mk-IV Soundcard, but I was impressed with the Strat, amp and the more obvious points of the pedal. wonderful guitar.

[@_RLP]

Sounds killer. Good job, fender.

[@gktde9874]

Mosh Smith is awesome!

[@horstdunoch3546]

I searched for a tube preamp or tube drive pedal to put in front of my solid state Hiwatt combo... I ordered a Blackstar dept. 10 and had to send it back, because I forgot that I had to have a volume knob after the boost... All the way up, it didn't even got me the sound I was going for (a dirty clean sound). I considered the AMT bricks and Vox Valvenergy, but now I ordered this one for kinda the same price that the Blackstar boost. It seems like the Fender is so much more than the Blackstar. Maybe you can ask me later if this is a good solution if you want tube warmth out of a solid state. Maybe I'll try out the other MTG distortion, but I'm more interested in the MTG trem

[@makled]

What is the difference between the MTG: LA and the MTG: Tube Distortion?

[@Tom4369-y9x]

I think the la is more high gain.

[@lewishuggett9281]

Dam that's a really straty sounding strat

[@davidcarpenter9232]

Got it on the way ,,, Leo lives 4-ever ...

[@oldgoattheantichrist3468]

What is the difference between the MTG Tube and the MTG LA? I’m thinking I am going to replace my Seymour Duncan Twin Tube pedal with whichever one of these has more gain on hand. I’m thinking this one it sounds amazing.

[@timjx3675]

Sounds pretty sweet - wonder how it stacks up against the Kingsleys tone and price etc but still hey ya gotta love Fender 🎸

[@carlduchesne713]

I would have liked a demo with a tubescreamer in front

[@Dom_Carpathicus]

It is good for high gain for extreme (thrash, death, black) metal ? I'm very interested to buy one

[@Triumphinchrist1]

Just got this.Will the regular Boss 9 V adapter work for this?

[@spiritoftime8464]

Maaaan this thing can drive

[@denizguneyozel4158]

Would i needed a preamp for a better tone if i buyed this?

[@nacaba02]

I bought one, its a must have for pedal fans. Its a super cool pedal. This is for a bright amp. Perfect for fender amps. I ended having the tone knob on full all the time using a boss katana mk2. It is so dynamic you'll forget you're getting distortion from a pedal. Crank the volume it gives that open chord show off feedback you need for awesome song ending. Tight knob works well for heavy stuffs. I guess thats the benefit of using a real vacuum tube. Now the question is does this sound better than a Nu tube pedal?

[@seanschaefer9525]

What's the difference between the MTG LA and the normal MTG tube distortion pedal

[@Jackrabbit710]

Definitely crunchier in the mids, less clear

[@ransombaggins9301]

Sorry if I missed it, but can someone tell me the difference between this MTG LA and the regular MTG? Thanks!

[@candidlyopinionated19]

Aaaand I want one now.

[@hickorymccay2994]

This pedal sounds nice. I wonder if it works on bass Does it have good low end?

[@PaoloC.]

how is the mid level internally set? is there a bump or not?

[@raddestperson743]

i got this pedal and plugged it in but the bypass doesn’t work even tho the knobs are lit.. can someone help out ?

[@notomatoesbbq]

damn this thing sounds great

[@lucaszembrzuski]

Should i click like or should i leave it on 777 all cool looking.... BTW does it have more gain and clarity than MTG Tube Distortion?

[@Baci302]

I want this

[@flobeeonekinobee2353]

Sounds like one for the collection haven't heard the price yet though

[@seamusforpresident3670]

[@RickMcCargar]

Maybe some players as good, but no one is "better" than Josh at blues and jazzy-blues.

[@nostrilbeans]

Distracted by this guys playing... like holy shit what the hell

[@PlaguePriest88]

That's a real player

[@parthbajaj8368]

6:30 That sounds a lot like Under the Bridge.

[@jwright123456789]

So if I buy the Fender pedal, a new Strat, and a Deluxe, I will sound just like this?

[@OzziePete1]

The tone would be there if you tweak it like Josh, but as for the playing, well, that's about 10,000 hours away....

[@anmolatwal]

Fender got Josh Smith to demo for them coz he is fucking great and knows gear very well! But Fender couldn't manage to make a masterbuilt 57 strat?!!!?? They should have!!

[@kellymckenzie4865]

Two videos I've seen so far that Josh is playing a strat. Where's the tele?

[@Ryane994]

Sounds a bit like a nobles odr1

[@davidcarpenter9232]

The NOS 6205 is the last ,,, highest tech & best tude made ... They put everthing from the best tubes in the design ,,, even the best runnimg temp ... Look up the specs on the 6205 ,,, you'll have to get one ... Real tube amp ??? Or one of these ... This will help you know what you need ,,, then get the rite amp ... D

[@jonduke3919]

WOW! If I can just could afford it, 😢

[@edwinykim]

What does mtg mean?

[@PaoloC.]

ditching the mids knob from the mtg was not a good move.

[@j_c_93]

Possible to achieve 80s metal tones with this?

[@THUNDERWORX]

Great sound for Journey's "Lights," but its not a Marshall. It is not going to pull off a tight OD sound like you would need for 80's Metal. But, it is great at its own thing.

[@tobwood5067]

Yea this petal ok, but it doesn’t sound great with single coils, and if you don’t play it it will start screaming, definitely not as pure sounding as the video!!!!!!

[@tobwood5067]

But if you mess around with it it will be a beast so I recommend it to anyone who needs the classic rock sound !

[@Gonzo2707]

Hm. Buzzy, grainy, wooly, rather dark even when played into a naturally bright amp... Built-in tube or not, not my cupa.

[@kanjosidr]

This is how tube distortions usually sound like. It's solid state drive pedals that are bright and punchy.

[@Gonzo2707]

Егор Сидоров Erm nope, mate. Kingsley Harlot or Harlot, the bright green AMT Brick (forgot the model name) or even the old Blackstar HT, for instance, are all based on a 200v+ 12AX7 circuit as well, and they all have loads more clarity and poke.
